Since I was young I’ve always had an interest in the Lowrider culture, and while it’s tough to say who exactly started this stance business I think it’s safe to assume that Lowrider guys are some of the true OGs.
When I found out this event was taking place minutes from my house deciding whether or not to attend was a no-brainer, especially because for the longest time my only exposure to cars like these was through television and music.
If you’ve never been to a Lowrider show and there is one near you be sure to pass through and take a look at the cars, with a lot of the builds the quality is through the roof.
Bikes
I wasn’t expecting to see any bikes at the show so I was pleasantly surprised by the ones I did see, all of them looked like awesome. I think this winter I might spend a bit more time on motorcycle blogs so I can do a better job of identifying what I see.
Once again wishing I knew a bit more about bikesThis marks the second time I have seen a woman on a custom bikeThere were crowd around this bike most of the daySo I bet your wondering what's going on up near the front tire?Well this is what was going on...
Non Lowriders
Most of the cars at the show were lowriders but there were a couple different cars out as well. Minitruck guys you let me down though, I thought a lot of you would come out 😛
If you asked me what to expect to see at PP3 a Skyline would have been at the bottom of my listI was honestly surprised that this was the only mini at the show, but I had not seen it before so it's all goodLivin' the lifeThis Donk was blasting tons of bass, but that's not what caught my eyeDonk's stretch? I had no ideaFitting this car was there being ae86 day after allThis car pulled up and a crowd gathered instantlyFrom what I overheard the grill shell and body are all 30s Ford and the rest is customIt's on air if you are curious
AffiliatedThe bicycles at the show were not just accessories but custom builds themselvesTrue Playaz, the hosts of this shindigBeing a family event seeing kids in and around the cars wasn't surprisingI swear to god I saw this car in a snowstorm onceJoe from Rollerz Only is one of the first people to ever give me a media pass for an event, good peoplesThis Cadillac is simply bad assI'm actually impressed the owner managed to used up that huge trunkThis car has still got the biggest continental kit I've ever seenSteve told me I had to check out this wagonSo I did a walk around the car...and saw the four pumps and multiple batteries and figured we would see it hop...but instead he just cruised the parking lot up on threeThis Impala could appear in the dictionary next to the definition lowriderThis Gold 65 Impala is incredible, that pin stripe is gold leafOr Pimpala ratherI love goooooooooooldBlack '63 from the Empire StateGorgeous engine bay on this car, would be right at home in a custom tooAss end as nice as the frontThe amount of work in the paint on some of these cars was astounding
Big Dave’s Caddy
This car was all about the details. So much in fact that I spent so much time looking at the artwork all over (literally all over) this car that I didn’t take a single picture of it as a whole, something that has never happened before.
Luckily I was able to find a picture of the car on the Luxurious Montreal pageThe art on the rad support jumps out at you but check out the engraving on the motorEngraving continuesI wouldn't even know where to look to get this type of work doneIf prior to looking at this car you were not scared of clowns you might be afterEvil clown hidden under what looked to be miles of clearCan't sleep clown will eat me...
Hop Contest
Ever want to see a kids eyes light up? Take them to a lowrider hop contest.
Lyndsey and I met up with my friend Steve who brought his nephew along and to say he was excited to see the cars hop would have be a serious understatement.
It was disappointing to see this car break as it's always a good performer but it happensJoe getting his big Caddy in the airThis car was getting right up thereThe abuse these things have to withstand is crazy to think aboutMoney green Monte Carlo flexin'Customary three wheel on the way out
That’s it for Parkin’ Lot Pimpin 3, shout out to Alvaro Puro Cervantes for putting me onto this event. Keep checking the fan page for quick videos of the hop contest.

I checked out the whole build thread of the Luxurious Montreal Caddy on http://www.montrealracing.com, it’s crazy how much work went into it.
’64 impala is my dream car.
